SIM card related Projects » pySim

We quite often get support requests from users of pySim-prog who run into ADM key errors which don't get decoded properly and rather repor backtraces:

> Using PC/SC reader number 0
> Ready for Programming: Insert card now (or CTRL-C to cancel)
> Autodetected card type: sysmoISIM-SJA2
> Generated card parameters : [...]
> Programming ...
>
> Card programming failed with an exception:
> ---------------------8<---------------------
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "./pySim-prog.py", line 822, in <module>
>     rc = process_card(scc, opts, first, ch)
>   File "./pySim-prog.py", line 774, in process_card
>     card.program(cp)

We should not print raw exceptions like this but properly decode the status word according to the tables we do alrady have in pySim and give the user a meaningful error message.
